Time Without Pity1957
It all started with a young girl’s scream …
Alec Graham is sentenced to death for the murder of his girlfriend Jennie, with whom he spent a weekend at the English country home of the parents of his friend Brian Stanford. Alec’s father, David Graham, a not-so-successful writer and alcoholic who has neglected his son in the past, flies in from Canada to visit his son on death row. David then goes on a quest to try and clear his son’s name while battling “the bottle.”

27#BFI 电影不像是对于真相的找寻,更像是借由找寻的过程揭露系统和代际的问题,两个父亲的角色与系统的失败是有呼应关系的。影片主线采用的是希区柯克定时炸弹理论,我们开始就能看到凶手,但紧张感不是源于真相,而是源于越来越紧迫的时间,大量的钟表特写,闹钟声响,无效沟通,瞪眼等待都是在不断挤压空间从而制造一种窒息感。角色和代际关系明显带着“东亚原生家庭“的影子,结尾处“英雄式的奉献”不咋喜欢,感觉仍然可以被看作是一种逃避。视觉效果呈现的不错,景深镜头带出大量的细节,玻璃反光呈现的角色关系,几处镜子的扭曲感呈现的角色诡异的状态,而且Mayfair那条街居然在五十年就开始卖车了,配乐中规中矩,音效推动剧情。
这片里的所有角色都表现得很过火,情节缺乏逻辑,没有一个正常人。单独看每个角色的表演很精彩,但每个人的复杂性格和情感纠缠在一起,最终严重削弱了这部黑色电影的观赏性。
